How to increase city population?

[Baruch]

What (besides Granary) can increase city population grow rate?

[Frozzy]

Food and farms.

[Baruch]

You mean - the more ration, the faster population grow ?

Does farmes plased 1,2,3 squeares from city affects ?

[Frozzy]

Farms give +X amount of food, depending on type and terrain. The farms must be placed in city boundaries.

Increasing rations on the slider increases happiness, decreases food in city. Ironically, decreasing rations increases total food in city, thus increasing population growth.

I think, I get a point.

Thank you!
